What a Day!!

Last year a large bead manufacturer used one of my bracelets in their catalog. It was the first time that any of my jewelry pieces had been published. Yesterday I received an e-mail from them asking to BUY another one of my pieces so that they can use it for some of their promotional pieces. I am so excited! Here is the piece that will be going in the mail today! I call it my Indian Corn Bracelet.

Precious Metal Clay (PMC)

I was lucky enough to take a week long class with MaryAnn and Ken Devos learning more about PMC. She is so talented! I made about 8 or 9 pieces and became certified in PMC. I was so proud of what I made. I put them all in a tray and displayed them in one of the front cases in my store. Customers would tease me and say, "When are you going to wear one of those pieces?" I treated the case like it was a shrine! Well, yesterday I finally took one of them out an incorporated it with some gemstones and crystals. Here it is!

We spent the last 3 days tubing, labeling and hanging seed bead tubes on the wall. Check out all of our new inventory. Another shipping is coming in next tuesday. It is never ending!! I love getting new beads in the store. It is fun showing new inventory to customers.

I did it!

I did it! I made a Lampwork bead to match two Czech Glass beads that I had in the store to create a beautiful Necklace. Here it is!!
